Last week, a week after shaving my bikini area, I noticed I had a scab in my groin area. I picked the scab and with the friction of my underwear againts the bump it kind of blistered but not even a day later it had scabed over and the next day it was hardly visible but still looks kind of discolored and circular like. Yesterday I noticed a pus filled bump on the other side of my groin area and popped it and today it just looked the same way a pimple on your face looks when you pop it. However today I noticed another pus filled bump on the other side of my groin but could see a piece of hair in it so I popped it but was to scared to pick the hair out but cleaned it with alcohol which made it tingle a little but nothing painful. I want to believe that these are results of shaving but I know std's especially herpes can be asymptomatic, but if I did have the sores associated with herpes wouldn't it be very painful especially when I applied the alcohol to the area to disinfect it? In addition, I haven't changed my razor in more than six months and I did use a perfumed shaving lotion and I have dark skin and have gotten razor bumps before. It doesn't hurt or burn when I urinate, the bumps are not ulcer like, I have no vaginal discharge. I have some muscle ache but I've always had those kind of problems, I have an appointment with my physician but this is really worrying me and I would like to know if it's cause for concern.
When I shave I get these same little bumps and yes they hurt, but honestly I wouldnt pop them becasue that could cause a major infection. I wouldnt worry about an STD ebcasue you said one of these bumps had a hair in it. Those are just ingrown hairs women get them all of the time. But You really should change your razor because it holds bacteria and could cause you to get a yeast infection or something else. Its good your going to see your dr. but I wouldnt worry. I get them all the time and My husband and I only sleep with eachother. So no worries.
if you've done nothing to attract an STD like herpes, the very primitive, easily preventable genital warts, or syphilis, or anything kind of STI OR STD that can give you chancres as a symptom, then I wouldn't worry..I WOULD JUSS CHANGE MY FRIGGIN RAZOR BLADE..:/.
It could be an ingrown hair. They can also get quite nasty.
In any case, if you've recently had unprotected sex or previously and you think that your partner might have had an STD, get it checked out.
its probably just razor bumps I get them too so dont worry its just from shaving
